Octopack is not including bin folder when Packaging an ASP.NET web application

Legacy Uncategorised

I recently upgraded octopus to version 3. Generated packages are now missing the bin folder.

The package is created with a custom msbuild script:

Output is as follows:

Hi,

Can you run MSBuild with the verbose setting /v:n and send the full build log?

I think I figured it out:

After octopack moved to $(FileWrites) the method we were using to call octopack does not work anymore. The key is in the xml that Tender quietly removed from my question. We are not running octopack with the property flag but have been invoking it directly, leaving FileWrites blank.

The solution would therefore be to call octopack like this:
msbuild MySolution.sln /t:Build /p:RunOctoPack=true
